How the 2nd Amendment keeps the Red Guard in check….

[2aguy]

I have pointed this out in other threads……

The democrats can only afford to send their brown shirts, blm and antifa into primarily black neighborhoods in the cities they control because they have enacted extreme gun control……..and they can also order the police to do nothing to stop their brown shirts…,

The problem they have is the fact that the people in the suburbs have guns……as we saw with the couple who stood up to them…..

The democrat party brown shirts are no different from Mao‘s Red Guard……

I’ve been reading — and writing — about China’s cultural revolution, and I see some similarities.

For ten years, Chairman Mao had his street thugs — called the Red Guards — humiliate, torture, plunder, and kill people who they decided weren’t on board with Mao’s plan to enslave the people of China.

Most of the Red Guards were between 13 and 21 years old. They clubbed people to death — roughly two million — with near impunity. People not down with the chairman clown could be pulled from their homes at the mercy of angry, commie animals, kind of like Antifa.

You’ll notice Antifa keeps their sally boys busy in mostly blue, anti-gun cities, where they burn what they want and get home in time for mom to cook rainbow waffles for breakfast. They did try to “Red Guard” their way through Kenosha, WI, but Kyle Rittenhouse perforated three of them, sending two to the final roundup. So much for stepping outside their comfort zone.

Because of the First Amendment and a right to vote, we have never needed a Second Amendment

 

[ReinyDays]

States can't be told by the Federal Government to keep their own military forces ... the Oregon State Militia is moribund ... no funding ... and no real mission the National Guard isn't already covering ...

It's Oregon's right, not the Feds ... and Oregon's State Constitution clearly states the individual has the right to keep and bear arms ... arms suitable for citizen/soldier duty ... anything semi-auto that takes the NATO round is perfect ... no damn Commie Chinese will make a landing here !!! ... and they know it ...

AR-15 is the perfect gun for varmints ... from squirrel-sized up to ... well ... yeah ... human-sized ... but not bears, important safety tip there...

The Second guarantees all the rest. A armed populace is a free populace, an unarmed populace is slaves or serfs at the mercy of the government.

Really?

 

[Abatis]

Really?

Let's revisit the original theory . . .

"The highest number to which, according to the best computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not exceed one hundredth part of the whole number of souls; or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This proportion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men. To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, . . . " -- Federalist 46​

Madison said the "standing army" equals 1% of the population, citizens able to bear arms equal 25X the military and citizens "with arms in their hands" equal 17 times the size of the military (30,000 army opposed by 500,000 citizens = 16.7 -1 ratio).

Today we have 325 million population, a little under 1% (about 2.7 million) active duty and reserve armed forces "opposed" by 80 million armed citizens . . . Today, armed citizens outnumber the "standing army" 30 to 1.

Let's examine that in real, recent life . . .

At the height of the Iraq War, estimates of the number of Iraqi insurgents ranged between 8000-20,000 (US) up to 40,000 (Iraqi intelligence). With 160,000 US troops in country our guys enjoyed at worst a 4 to 1 advantage and at best a 20 to 1 advantage. And in the opinion of many we were in a quagmire and losing.

Just imagine for a moment if there were 3+/- million insurgents opposing our 160,000 troops (Madison's 17-1 ratio), or worse, 5 million (the current 30 -1 ratio) and many of the insurgents were very familiar with American heavy weapon platforms and endeavored to seize and offensively use those weapons instead of just sniping or blowing themselves up?

The OP seems to be very confused.

Yet ou can’t point to a single time when guns were needed “to keep us free”
A free press keeps Government in check
Guns do not

Counting guns does not determine the effectiveness of an Army
400 million guns spread out over the entire country does not constitute a fighting force.
A modern army has extensive training on fighting as a unit, it has a command structure, communications, armor, air power, intelligence all factors that are “force multipliers”

I’m going to ask a silly question. Have you ever served? Did you join the Army?

I have commented often that you don't see these antifa types running around the rural and suburban areas of the south. There is a reason for it and of course you know what it is.

And we have a lapdog press right now, so that's out the window.

The Press did its job in fact checking Trumps lies and reporting on the Jan 6 debacle.

Our Free Press failed in not questioning the Bush invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq

The press isn't free. It's an extension of the Democratic Party.

There are multiple RW outlets

There are multiple RW outlets

Small, ignored, and co-opted as soon as the MSM can get around to it.

Or vilified like O'Keefe when they do actual investigative reporting.

FoxNews is the most popular news outlet

The fact you would bring up a propagandist like James O’Keefe destroys your credibility
